We are delighted to have improved our ranking in 2025 for the fifth time in a row and to have achieved a truly top ranking of rank 5. This success is particularly valuable for us because we have once again achieved this in the “Automotive and Suppliers” industry category – in an environment with numerous industry giants such as BMW, Bosch, Daimler and Porsche.
In addition, we have improved significantly in the cross-industry ranking of the survey of 34,000 employees from 650 companies over the last five years. Here we jumped from 61st to 35th place.
In early summer 2024, Statista surveyed the employees of the participating companies in anonymous online access panels. The participants' responses were evaluated using a model consisting of a direct and an indirect score. The direct score, with over 40 individual aspects surveyed, provides information on a scale of 0 to 10 about how likely employees would be to recommend their own employer to friends and family. The indirect score also gives respondents the opportunity to recommend other employers from their industry segment – or to advise against them.
Finally, the 650 companies with an above-average score were included in the overall ranking and the 24 industry rankings as “best employers”.
